Gamow-Teller Transitionsin p-, sd-, and pf-shell Nuclei
GT : Important weak response, simple operator Representing “Spin Isospin” response of nuclei.
They are unique quantum numbers in Atomic Nuclei.Good Probe to study the Key Part of the Nuclear Structure.Astrophysical Interest.Studied by decay and Charge-Exchange reactions

Properties of GT transitions
Caused by the operator : a simple operator !
1) |i> and |f> states should have similar spatial shapes. - there is no space-type operator -
2) operator: states with j> and j< configurations are connected.
3) operatpr: isospin quantum number T plays an important role (isospin selection rule)
GT transitions are sensitive to Nuclear Structure ! GT transitions in each nucleus are UNIQUE !
J|=0, 1T|=0, 1
Selection Rules
**Basic common understanding of -decay
and Charge-Exchange reaction
decays : Absolute B(GT) values,
but usually the study is limited to low-lying state(3He,t) reaction at 0o :
Relative B(GT) values, but Highly Excited States
** Both are important for the study of GT transitions!
